We're back!

After a week of Winch U and another of preparatory meetings, the threat of Hurricane Earl and lots of hard work by the Winch staff, we are back, with students and parents convening on a beautiful fall afternoon to kick the 2010-2011 year off. We are now in the midst of a couple of days of orientation workshops and activities, which means that this will need to be a short post. I hope that the following shots capture a little of the spirit of all that is going on.

Members of the men's and women's soccer teams arrived first for preseason. Here they enjoyed the best of both worlds - a good workout while cooling down.

Then most of this year's proctors arrived on Friday to get organized for the arrival of the students. They have some great ideas for the year ahead.

Old friends reconnected and new friends met for the first time at the cookout Saturday evening.

Mr. Tevlin, our new Development Director, and his daughter Kiley '14 shared a moment at the cookout.

Then it was time for getting to know everyone in your dorm...

...before breakfast and adviser meetings this morning.

How can a room look so messy so quickly? Room inspection will come soon enough!
